Then was Walwain a little child; so was the other, Modred his brother. But alas! that Modred was born; much harm therefore came! Arthur proceeded to London, and with him his people; he held in the land a mickle husting, and established all the laws that stood in his elders' days; all the good laws that era here stood; he set peace, he set protection, and all freedoms.
Thus the British women killed many thousands, and thus they freed this kingdom of Wanis and of Melga.

Such were his qualities, that all folk it knew. Now was Arthur good king, his people loved him, eke it was known wide, of his kingdom. The king held in London a mickle husting; thereto were arrived all his knights, rich men and poor, to honour the king.
Forth went the messenger, and Vortiger took anon and sent over London, and ordered them quickly and full soon, that they all should come to husting. When the burgh-men were come, who were most bold, then spake Vortiger, who was traitor full secret, much he gan to weep, and sorrowfully to sigh, but it was in his head, and not in his heart.

"I! Who am I? Out-of-law, and a wolf's-head." "We will put you back into your law, we will give you your lands in full husting." "Never mind a husting on my behalf.

Then was Vortiger woe, and eft to him was worse!
Then took they the bishop, led him to their husting on the eve of Sunday, the octave of the Pasch; and there they then shamefully killed him: they pelted him with bones and the heads of oxen, and then one of them struck him with an axe-iron on the head, so that with the blow he sank down; and his holy blood fell on the earth, and that his holy soul be sent to God's kingdom."
